title: Regio- and stereoselective direct N-alkenylation of indoles via Pd-catalyzed aerobic oxidation.
abstract: With two different sets of Pd catalyst systems in hand, indoles, whether bearing a C3-substituent or not, can be directly alkenylated on their nitrogen atoms using a sterically and electronically diverse array of alkenes, in which the high regio- and stereoselectivity are dependent on the nature of the alkenes used. This process proceeds in generally good yields and is compatible with a broad range of functional groups.
